Rahul Gandhi has explained the problems of the families of the victims through the letter. He has urged the Chief Minister to increase the compensation amount and give it to the victims' families at the earliest.
The Congress leader posted the letter, dated July 6, on social media platform X on Sunday.
Speaking about his visit to Aligarh and Hathras on Friday, where he interacted with the bereaved families, Rahul Gandhi wrote that no amount of compensation can be sufficient for the loss suffered by the families.
He further said that an impartial investigation would help identify the lapses of the district administration in the tragic incident that claimed the lives of 121 people.
"This will help prevent such incidents from happening again in the future and the culprits will be punished," he wrote.
He further wrote that he and Congress workers were willing to provide any help that might be needed.
On Friday, Rahul met the families and asked them about the incident and the help they had received. He had assured them that he would address their issues in the right forum and also help them in every possible way.
He later visited Hathras and met the injured and those who had lost their relatives in the stampede.
He told reporters: “There have been some failures on the part of the administration that led to a tragedy of this magnitude. When the permit was for 80,000 people, then how did so many people get there? Action must be taken against whoever is guilty.”
The stampede took place on Tuesday afternoon (July 2) at a Satsang of a self-proclaimed god, Suraj Pal, who also goes by the names Narayan Sakar Hari and 'Bhole Baba'.
An FIR was registered in the incident naming the organizers of the event and the main accused. Police also arrested six people, known as sewadars, who supported the preachers and ran the event.
The Uttar Pradesh Police carried out a search operation at Ram Kutir Charitable Trust in Mainpuri. Later, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mainpuri Sunil Kumar said that 'Bhole Baba' was not found inside his ashram. Hathras city superintendent Rahul Mithas also said that the preacher was not found in the ashram.
On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the site of the tragedy and ordered a judicial inquiry into the incident.
A three-member Judicial Commission of Inquiry has been constituted under the chairmanship of Justice (retd) Brijesh Kumar Srivastava to ensure completeness of the matter and transparency of investigation. The team visited Hathras on Saturday.
